I have been married for 41 years to the man who is still the love of my life, Sandy. He retired in 2008. We love to travel together and spend as much time as life allows with our family. I love to decorate, entertain, cook and bake, garden, and paint. We have two children, a son and a daughter and three precious granddaughters. We are blessed to have a loving son-in-law, but we are saddened beyond description to have lost our beautiful daughter-in-law on December 23, 2010 following the emergency delivery of our newest granddaughter. In spite of our loss, I'm a blessed woman - my cup runneth over!

Count your blessings, Name them one by one! Count your blessings, See what God hath done! Count your blessings, Name them one by one! And it will surprise you, What the Lord hath done!
Having parents you know love each other is probably the best gift we children could possibly ever have. I love this picture. The happiness that radiates from their eyes and faces it priceless and you can literally see the love in her eyes as she gazes at her handsome groom. Thank you for sharing this.
My deceased daughter gave me a plaque when she was in elementary school and I still keep it where it can be easily seen. It says, "The most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother." My sister and I were secure in our parents' love for us and for each other. I am so glad that you grew up in the same circumstances. Also, thanks for the reminder to be thankful. Sweetie
